What are The IMPACT Awards?

About the Red Sox Foundation

As the official team charity of the Boston Red Sox, the Red Sox Foundation's mission is to serve the health, education, recreation, and social service
needs of children, families and veterans in need across New England. Founded in 2002, the Red Sox Foundation has committed over $82M to charitable activity
and operations making it one of the largest team charities in all professional sports.

1 To be eligible to receive an IMPACT award, an organization must be a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity in good standing, and its work must be consistent with the Red Sox Foundation's mission statement. The non-profit can nominate their own organization by completing the form and using the password provided. In addition, organizations that have received a donation from the Red Sox Foundation of $10,000 or more during the 2015 or 2016 calendar years are ineligible to receive an award (the 2015 and 2016 First Place IMPACT Award winners are not eligible to win again in 2017). The Red Sox Foundation will vet all nominated organizations and will determine, in its sole discretion, whether an organization is eligible.

2If you are not currently registered to receive commercial emails from the Red Sox but would like to cast a vote, you may provide your email address above and keep the box checked to receive commercial emails and use the password GEN1396 in the form.

3 Each password may only be used by each individual once. If votes are cast by an individual using the same password for multiple organizations then the
first organization nominated will be counted. Multiple votes cast for the same organization by the same individual will be disregarded.

4 Fans may only vote for a charity with a primary office in the same state as their state of residence.
